Make your archive more accessible
Accessing documents in an archive has always been a demanding and time-consuming task, often only possible with handwritten finding aids. But with Transkribus, you can publish your processed documents on a Transkribus Site, make them easily accessible to researchers and visitors, and reduce finding queries to your staff in the process.

Leverage the power of Transkribus to unlock your valuable sources.
Support your staff
Instead of sending someone to a shelf dozens of times a day to look for restricted records that visitors are not allowed to access directly, enable your team to search your holdings right from their desk.
Empower your visitors
Whether through offline computers in your institution’s reading room or through online access, providing your visitors with digital access to your archival material enables them to find what they are looking for directly and creates a better visitor experience.
Help visitors to read texts independently
Reading historical scripts can be tricky, and visitors often require the help of archival staff to decipher texts. By converting documents into digital text with Transkribus, you make it possible for your visitors to read them independently, without needing to ask staff for assistance.
Contribute to our collective memory
The role of archival institutions in preserving a society’s collective memory and protecting political accountability and historical transparency is crucial. Transkribus supports you in this mission by enhancing document access, improving efficiency for both staff and visitors alike.
